Well organised and brilliant marshaling throughout event, definite return event!

Shame there was no fun warm up

Great facilities, chip timing, good marshalling, great volunteers, fabulous medal and much appreciated mince pie

Could the ambulances please turn off their engines ?

Their encouragement spurred us on

Marshalls are so encouraging. Nice Work are a fantastic race organisation. So enjoy their races!. Thank you guys

Fantastic marshals, all friendly and encouraging. Well planned route and great medal. Thank you.

I would recommend this race. It’s my first, other than Saturday park runs. There was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, everyone was very friendly. Sherwood Pines is gorgeous scenery and whilst it’s a bit hilly in places, as you’d expect on a trail run, there’s a lovely 2k downhill section in the middle :-) I was a bit nervous being a beginner, but I didn’t need to worry, everything was clear and easy to understand, including the route markings. I finished middle of the pack, but there was a real range of running paces, so I think whatever your pace, it would work for you, as a beginner or more advanced. Thanks for a great race :-)
